Mounting System
Acme Packet provides flexible mounting options for your equipment rack installation.
Stationary slides are mounted on each side of the equipment rack. Complimentary
chassis slides are mounted on each side of the Acme Packet 6300/6350. Once
the equipment rack and Acme Packet 6300/6350 hardware is in place, insert the
chassis, on its slides into the equipment rack mounted slides. When the Acme Packet
6300/6350 is fully inserted into the equipment rack, it is secured in place with two
thumbscrews and 4 rack screws.
Installing the Stationary Slides
In this first stage of system installation, you secure the stationary slide to the
equipment rack. The end with three mounting slots on the stationary slide rail is
attached to the front of the equipment rack and the bare steel side is attached to
the rear of the equipment rack. The stationary slide rail can expand and contract to
accommodate equipment racks of various depths.
You can mount the stationary slide rail to both tapped hole rack slide rails and square
rack slide rails. Follow the appropriate procedure below.
